Ha. So if, at any time, over the course of our friendship, I asked what you spent 30-40% of your waking hours doing, that would be stupid, "predicable" (if you're going to call me stupid, first learn to spell check), and irrelevant? I find it odd when that's someone's first question, but someone I'd consider a friend should know that. Perhaps you have a low bar for friendship.



That's not what I said. Many of my friends do know what I do.

This whole thread is about first dates and meeting people. I don't want to be around people who have that as their first question. It indicates low creativity, low fun, social compliance, and if I bring a crew of such people around - people will assume the same of me.

If that's not who you are, learn to signal that by not asking dumb questions off the bat, and learn to time such inquiries for when they make sense and rapport has been established. Socializing is about relationships, not information exchange.

And thanks for the spelling lesson. You must be a cheer.
